The Mandovi dalecandELA of Ramón Zubiaga is the first leader of the II Social Trophy for J80 class cruises and monotypes, organized by the Royal Maritime Club of the Abra-Real Sporting Club, which began with little wind. The Mandovi crew was imposed on the only route that could be held in the absence of the necessary wind. Second arrived the Rural Kutxa- School of Vela José Luis de Ugarte de Peru Abásolo, with the third position for the Fingolfin of Gonzalo Arnal. The Obelix of Pablo Gomeza and the Team Group Engineering Pilgrim of José Luis Ribed were then classified, with the Brut of Juan Mocoroa in sixth place.

A second exit was given for the J80 division, whose route had to be overturned by the fall of the wind and a lot of current, which also happened with the 12-mile test in the Regata and Cruise I class and the 7-mile test for the Cruise II ships. Despite the departure with a south-east of 6 to 8 knots, it went down and forced the Committee to annul the development of the competition in this premiere of the II Social Trophy 2026.
